Why longitudinal wave called mechanical wave?​

Physics
2 answers:
hoa [83]3 years ago
8 0

Longitudinal waves are mechanical waves because they require material medium for their propagation.

Mechanical wave is a type of wave that requires material medium for their propagation.

  • Sound wave is an example of mechanical wave because it requires material medium for its propagation.
  • Sound waves are longitudinal waves because they travel parallel to the mode of their vibrations.

Thus, we can conclude that longitudinal waves are mechanical waves because they require material medium for their propagation.

Answer:

Mechanical wave- Waves that require a medium ( solid, liquid or gas) to travel are known as mechanical waves. ... So, sound waves are longitudinal. Also, it cannot travel through a vacuum and requires a medium (solid, liquid, or gas) to travel. Thus, a sound wave is called a mechanical wave.

Explanation:

OR

Sound waves are mechanical waves because they need a material medium for propagation, like air or liquids like water or metals like silver.

Uest<br>1. State Newton's law of cooling.​
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

Newton's law of cooling states that the rate of heat loss of a body is directly proportional to the difference in the temperatures between the body and its surroundings. The law is frequently qualified to include the condition that the temperature difference is small and the nature of heat transfer mechanism remains the same. As such, it is equivalent to a statement that the heat transfer coefficient, which mediates between heat losses and temperature differences, is a constant. This condition is generally met in heat conduction (where it is guaranteed by Fourier's law) as the thermal conductivity of most materials is only weakly dependent on temperature. In convective heat transfer, Newton's Law is followed for forced air or pumped fluid cooling, where the properties of the fluid do not vary strongly with temperature, but it is only approximately true for buoyancy-driven convection, where the velocity of the flow increases with temperature difference. Finally, in the case of heat transfer by thermal radiation, Newton's law of cooling holds only for very small temperature differences.

When stated in terms of temperature differences, Newton's law (with several further simplifying assumptions, such as a low Biot number and a temperature-independent heat capacity) results in a simple differential equation expressing temperature-difference as a function of time. The solution to that equation describes an exponential decrease of temperature-difference over time. This characteristic decay of the temperature-difference is also associated with Newton's law of cooling

A Styrofoam ball has just been shot straight up. Air resistance is not negligible (free body diagram)
timofeeve [1]

In a free body diagram for an object projected upwards;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards.
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

An object projected upwards is subjected to influence of acceleration due to gravity.

As the object accelerates upwards, its velocity decreases until the object reaches maximum height where its velocity becomes zero and as the object descends its velocity increases, which eventually becomes maximum before the object hits the ground.

To construct a free body diagram for this motion, we consider the following;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

<u>For instance:</u>

upward motion for velocity  ↑        downward motion for velocity  ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

acceleration due to gravity ↓

                                             ↓

                                             ↓

The law of universal gravitation states that any two objects in the universe, without exception,
STatiana [176]
A. attract each other.

The Law of Universal Gravitation discusses the phenomenon of gravity. Remember that gravity is the force that keeps us on Earth; the Earth pulls us down, and our bodies pull back.  Gravity is the force of attraction, so the correct answer is a).
